Isaiah 9:16
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
For those who guide this people mislead them, and those they mislead are swallowed up.
In context
14 So the LORD will cut off Israel’s head and tail, both palm branch and reed in a single day.
15 The head is the elder and honorable man, and the tail is the prophet who teaches lies.
16 For those who guide this people mislead them, and those they mislead are swallowed up.
17 Therefore the Lord takes no pleasure in their young men; He has no compassion on their fatherless and widows. For every one of them is godless and wicked, and every mouth speaks folly. Despite all this, His anger is not turned away; His hand is still upraised.
18 For wickedness burns like a fire that consumes the thorns and briers and kindles the forest thickets which roll upward in billows of smoke.
